Im 33 weeks and i get them more lately simce im further along in my pregnancy. You will get a very tight feeling in your  abdomen area then it will go to your vagina area it only lasts up to 15 to 20 seconds and goes away. It doesnt hurt it just feels very weird and uncomfortable. To me every time it happens i feel like i need to pee a river lol

Im 26 weeks with my third and already having braxton hicks contractions. Theyre not that bad. Its just tightening for about 30 seconds and then it goes away. Only happens about 6-7 times a day for me so far. One thing ive been getting a lot lately is charlie horses in the backs on my legs when I sleep. Thats probably the worse thing right now
